‎Edizione del 1976 di questa opera di viaggio in Africa Occidentale di Mary Kingsley (1862-1900). Mary Kingsley fece due viaggi in Africa nel 1893 e 1894 per studiare le religioni primitive e raccogliere esemplari di storia naturale. Viaggiò attraverso paesi selvaggi, lontani da ogni forma di civilizzazione europea e fece importanti lavori di ricerca tra i fiumi Ogowe e Rembve. i suoi resoconti di viaggio sono pervasi da un profondo humour e divennero immediatamente dei best sellers. Nel 1900 morì a Simonstown dove stava facendo volontariato come infermiera durante la Guerra del Sud Africa. Per sua volontà venne sepolta al mare. Robinson p. 136-8.

Mary Kingsley spent her first thirty years at home taking care of her parents. She read most of her father's library and inherited his passion for travel. After the parent's death she made two travels in 1893 and 1894 to West Africa to study the primitive religions of the tribes and collect natural history specimens. She travelled through wild countries, away form civilisation and European influence, and she made important research work between the rivers Ogowe and Rembve. She did not dispute Britain's right to govern Africa but she warmly argued Britain's method of doing so and fought to the last of introducing intricate laws. Kingsley's two travel accounts written with a great sense of humour became immediate best sellers, both for their serious scientific content and their exuberant raciness. In 1900 she died at Simonstown where she had volunteered for nursing service in the South African War. She was buried at sea by her own wish. Robinson p. 136-8. Middleton, Victorian lady travellers, pp. 149-176. Some photographic plates. In good conditions. Editorial cloth cover in very good general conditions lightly worn in the extremities. Dustjacket lacks. Binding in good conditions. Inside pages are in very good conditions with occasional foxing. In 8. Dim. 25,5x15,5 cm. Pp. 276+(2) ‎
